The TR3 apron would have extra openings at the top inside of the opening for=
 the grill for extra cooling to the engine compartment, where on the TR2 the=
 opening was completely enclosed all the way to the egg crate grill.  TR3s s=
hould have holes for the forward mounting grill.  I think that some later TR=
2 aprons may have had trim partly, I think 3/4 surrounding the grill opening=
.  You may find evidence of these trim fitting holes filled. =20
